History of Angling
The history of angling (or fishing) is as old as the world. From the time there were fish in the seas and the rivers, people have been catching them for food. The earliest known references to fishing date back to the ancient world. Among the Greeks, philosophers Aristotle and Plato referred to the sport of angling, while historian Plutarch offered advice on fishing lines. From Greece and Rome to the ancient civilizations of India and Egypt, fishing played an important role in the local (and regional) cultures; there is much evidence of this, both pictorially as well as textually (and also through the discovery of fishing equipment). Sport fishing can trace its origins to the late 15th century, but it was only after ‘The Compleat Angler’ came out (1653) did angling really take off. This guide, probably the most significant book on sport fishing, was authored by English angler Izaak Walton, whose reflections on (and love for) recreational angling sit snugly side by side with advice on how to make tackle and suggestions on the best techniques for catching fish. Besides being a classic of English Literature, ‘The Compleat Angler’ is also the seminal book on angling. Since the days of Walton, advances in fishing gear and an increase in knowledge of angling tactics (and also a growing awareness of the habitat of fishes) has seen the sport of grow in popularity, across the world. For many, it is the perfect way to relax, an antidote to the frenzies of modern existence.
